Monitor arm saved my neck after 2 years of pain

I was using stacked books to prop up my monitor for 2 years and my neck was killing me. Last month I bought a $40 gas spring arm and adjusted it to eye level. Took 10 minutes to install and the pain went away in a week. Anyone else put off buying proper gear and regret it?

Did you try just adjusting your chair height first? A lot of neck pain can come from slouching or having your chair too low, not just monitor position. I'm glad it worked for you but a $40 arm might not fix it for everyone.

Jokes on me, I actually have my chair set to "perpetual slouch mode" so maybe that's the real problem here. Always good to check the basics before buying gear, though.
